GCS - 44 Wall Street's ENERGY STAR score of 80 compares with an average of 72 across the 2,519 that report a score; it scores higher than 52% of them and lower than 46%. Its site EUI of 54.2 kBtu/ft² is about 16% below the average of 64.5 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.2 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 28% below the group average of 5.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 289,049 sq ft, it is about 41% above the average floor area of 205,440 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1927, 13 years earlier than the group's average year built (1940).

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 80 mean?
ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 80 means the building performs better than about 80% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 80 falls in band B — above median (70–84). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. In New York City, 43% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. GCS - 44 Wall Street's 54.2 kBtu/ft² across 289,049 sq ft works out to about 15.7 billion Btu (4,591 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 118.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,846,675 kWh of electricity and 3,835 thousand gallons of water for the year.
